Mixing Paint From Primary Colours [GW colours]

I was surfing the net when I stumbled upon this little guide..
I guess it is pretty usefull if you paint with Citadel paints

Well done my good man. Excellent surf results. Now I finally have a use for the old GW paints lying around (I'm a Vallejo man myself).

Wow! Great find! Thanks for sharing!

You are welcome guys

Btw; The "recipe" for Dark Flesh and Scab Red is the same(this would be a mistake?), but the colour you actually get is Dark Flesh
I don't know if there is any more mistakes, but as far as I can see there is none

Yeah, I read that in the forum on there. However, I'm glad it's Dark Flesh since that's one of my most used paints.

This is genius, definitely going to try this out if i ever get any the three primary colors... mine are dried out due to the previous bottle style

The funny thing is a still have a goblin green from 1995 that is usable! The wider, screw top lids from several years ago that dry out in a month or so.

The proof!

Judging from a lot of peoples experience, the colours in the very old pots like that one above seems to stay usable way longer than that in their successor pots (with the black, screw top lids). Strange.

Oh, I didn't read the comments on there - I'm currently painting two small ruins, and I thought it would look good with the outer walls to be "Scab Red", so I tried to mix the colour(I do not use GW colours for terrain tough - That would be waaaay too expensive) and well... It turned out Dark Flesh

I took about a dozen of the old pots (with screw tops) back and complained that they dried out and was lucky enough to get them replaced

I also have some of the pots from '95 and they are perfectly fine...

And that is a awesome find... tho im good on the mixing front as I lucky enough to receive the Mega Paint Set (every color at the time) as a gift about 5 years ago... but when I run out of colors I know have the mixing guide

Lol @ Commando Khaki 156 parts of yellow needed!

nice find by the way
